Well, you give the album a 6 and yet you like the worst song in the album.

It is a typical/common/average/ordinary/habitual alternative (almost)emocore song... no power, no feeling, no memories left after hearing it... not the only bad song in this album, but the worst by far.

I guess the melodic side of Deftones, that used to atmospheric and hypnotizing, with bizarre alternative soundscapes (Deathblow??) is no more to be seen... At least their powerful passages still have some good quality of previous works.

forgive me but what you said here was complete gibberish

i think what you meant to say was that Diamond Eyes is the catchiest song on the album so we all have to dislike it like troo dark music troglodytes and somehow pretend that it has no power or feeling to it..

That's not what I wrote in any possible interpretation...

The ''Diamond Eyes'' song fails in every aspect imo: it fails in being powerful enough to cause an impression, and it even fails on the catchiness appeal (who usually turn out great on Deftones)... simply poor.

...''troo dark troglodytes''... cmon, that is just silly...

All right album, not amazing, not horrid, although a bit disappointed, but what can i say, deftones are getting old now...

I gave this album a 6 because (writing in your terms) i feel this album as a typical/common/average/ordinary/habitual alternative album. Almost nothing new and interesting to listen in general. For me it sounds like a bside album compilation of their previous releases. Its the only album that i dont like so much from them.

This is my favorite Deftons album for sure. Some people don't like it too much, but i can't find a flaw in a single song, and I have heard each song more times then i can probably count. I understand that some people do find flaws in it, but as for my take on the album, its perfect.

This is one Deftones' greatest albums, second only to Around the Fur. and imo one of hard rock/metal's greatest releases in the past ten years. Every song on this album is breathtaking. Each song has its own style, emotion, energy and beauty. The tones, amidst adversity and sorrow managed to channel all that was going on in their life and translate it into Diamond Eyes. A remarkable feat and one worthy of the tag "classic". I absolutely love this band. They cant do wrong.
